First Christmas shopping

As usual Christmas shopping starts early in this family since we have to send some of our presents from France to Sweden and given the abysmal postal service these days you have to send your packages several weeks before Christmas if you want to be sure they arrive in time for Christmas.

Thus, today we went to Balexert in Geneva for some Christmas shopping. Balexert is a nice place in the sense that it is big enough that it is not totally crowded and stressful even on a Saturday and it is far enough away from the center of Geneva that you do not have to drive into the mess and try to find a parking. Unlike a lot of other places they do not try to profit from the people who come by car. Rather the inverse, if you stay less than an hour the parking is free and even if you, like we did today, park for three hours you “only” pay 1 Franc and 50 centimes.

As have become a bit of a habit we did take the opportunity to have lunch at Fiesta Mexicana, the Mexican bistro, there. Me and Jonathan had soft tacos which was served with four different sauces of which one was marvelously hot.

This is not a James Bond movie! It is a bloody Hollywood drama written by someone with a total lack of respect for the Franchise, not to mention the old Bond fans. My disappointment with this movie cannot be overstated.

After a string of mostly five star rated books with plenty of action, adventure and fun dialogue I am afraid that, to me, this series ended with a bit of a wet fizzle. I was indeed a bit underwhelmed when I got to the last page.

Well, that was a disappointment! I am afraid this series is going downhill for me quite rapidly. It has turned into some soap opera where the fantasy is used more to hide a poor story rather than the important element it is supposed to be in a urban fantasy book.
